“I’m glad I’m not competitive,” Elizabeth Gilbert said when listing her dear friend Marie Forleo’s assets and calling her a “quintuple threat” before adding how incredibly loyal, decent, and giant-hearted she is. It’s with that kind of feel-good sisterhood that we kick off this first episode of the Beautiful Writers Podcast for 2021. Two #1 New York Times bestselling authors, celebrating their healing from the same major surgery, their recent paperback releases (Marie’s Everything is Figureoutable and Liz’s City of Girls), jaw-dropping manifestation tips, warp-speed book proposal-wrangling, and a chopping-block editorial practice that Marie’s book and Glennon Doyle’s Untamed benefited from that may leave you sprinting for your delete key. You mean there are secrets to opening your page-turner? Holy smokes. But don’t take my word for it. “Auntie Liz” is layin’ it down and you’ll want to take notes.
Write on,
Linda (aka Book Mama) xo
